About UC ANR

Programs

Statewide programs focus research and extension on solving priority problems that engage ANR academics and UC faculty in integrated teams to work on complex issues that need trans-disciplinary approaches.

Research Centers

ANR's Research and Extension Centers, located in important California ecosystems, support research projects and educational events. Research projects conducted at the RECs enable the delivery of the highest-quality science to growers, industry and land managers.

Research and Information Centers (RIC) are commodity-specific focal points for UC researchers and private and public constituencies providing resources and information.
